I read in The Post Tuesday morning how Colorado State University is considering options to go private. Another article explains how the state of Hawaii is considering eliminating school on Fridays to save money.

Only an insane country spends more than $1 trillion on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan while cutting back on secondary and higher education for our children.

Nothing better than a lot of uneducated young people for the military-industrial complex.

Your article reports that CSU is considering a public-private takeover in which certain colleges would become privately financed while others would remain public but with a cap on the number of students admitted with in-state tuition.

I hope that those Colorado legislators will remember the dire straits that our universities are in before they make another run at granting in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. Imagine what will happen: American kids competing for limited in-state openings with illegal immigrants. Is this what we pay our taxes for?
